Your starting X1 for Chelsea

[Newcastleclaret93]

Now that things have died down.

What would be your starting X1 for the Chelsea game.

Heaton
Lowton, Tark, Mee, Ward
JBG, Defour, Hendrick, Cork, Brady
Vokes

I think we played our most creative and attractive football against Celta Vigo.
So I'm going for the same attacking line up.

However I would take a back to the wall 0-0 now.

[ablueclaret]

It is the line-up I've been calling for but Gray for Vokes.

[Devils_Advocate]

Same line up as OP for me though by 1st Sept would like Tark, JBG and Vokes places under threat with three quality signings

[Newcastleclaret93]

I would bring gray on later in the game.

We are barely going to touch the ball so I think crosses an long balls are our best chance of scoring

[ablueclaret]

I rather fancy we'll see Vokes and Walters for the aerial bombardment from set pieces.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Unless Walters in going to play RM I'm not sure why we signed him. He will always be behind Vokes and gray in the pecking order

If we start the game with JBG, Defour and Brady we are going to get a right to tonking

[ablueclaret]

Maybe but it's worth a try to see if we can counter quickly away from home.

Heaton
Lowton, Tark, Mee, Ward
Defour, Cork
Walters, Hendrick, Barnes
Gray

Walters & Barnes to be wide outlets as our only chance to 'expose' Chelsea's advanced Wingbacks.

[IanMcL]

I think we should have dispensation to start the same 11 who finished the first half today, followed by adding all those who need the extra minutes, to complete their pre-season.
